Connecting Canadians to what matters most

Our TELUS team has stepped up to address pressing social issues, made unprecedented investments in technology to bridge geographic and socio-economic divides and supported the development of more vibrant and sustainable communities. Since 2000, TELUS has invested $175 billion to connect Canadians to the people, resources and information that make their lives better.

Mobility for Good

Through TELUS Mobility for Good™, we are helping 20,000 young Canadians who are aging out of the foster care system to build their independence and confidence. Equipped with a free TELUS smartphone and 3GB rate plan, they will have a reliable connection for prospective employers, post-secondary institutions and healthcare professionals, and will be able to stay connected with friends and family as they transition to independent living.

Internet for Good

We believe no child should be left with their potential unrealized. We know that access to the Internet gives families in need the opportunity to succeed in our digital society.

Assistive Tech for Good

Through TELUS Assistive Tech for Good™, TELUS customers with disabilities that require a customized solution involving assistive technology, such as additional hardware or software to independently access their smartphone or tablet, can receive specialized assistance.

Empowering the responsible use of technology

At TELUS, we understand the power of technology and all the good it can help us achieve. We also understand that technology introduces privacy and security risks, and has the potential to enable negative and cruel behaviour. Through our TELUS Wise program, we are encouraging Canadians to become informed digital citizens, while simultaneously protecting our youth online. Since the program launched in 2013, we have reached more than 200,000 Canadians through TELUS Wise workshops, providing the tools and knowledge to stay safe online.
